Onien needs to be given a run in midfield from now on

Matthews is a good right back in this league and onien looks like he has the energy we've been lacking in midfield and likes to get forward

O'Nien was man of the match for me tonight. His energy was very important in not letting the City lads get a really fluid passing game. Can't remember the last time I saw a SAFC player surging into the box trying to get onto the end of crosses as much as he did tonight. Whether Matthews is fit or not from here on in, O'Nien must be kept in midfield and not switched back to right back.

yep, every time a city player turned around Onien was either on him, or closing him down. kept his energy well when their centre halfs had it, but as soon as it crossed the half way line he was hounding them. on top of that, he's always looking for the ball, wins headers and tackles, and gets onto the end of stuff in the box. needs to start

Was an 8/10 for me tonight. Only thing missing was the goal which he more than deserved. Same goes for Kimpioka.
